I never write reviews, but since I had a hard time figuring out if this product will work for me, I relied on reviews. So I'm going to return the favor and try and help some others out. I bought this mount because I wanted to mount my 55"TV over my fireplace. I also wanted the ability to move it around. This mount does everything! I can pull it down from the mantel to have a more comfortable viewing angle, and also move it and turn it and turn it to the side so that it can be seen from my island in the kitchen. As other reviews have mentioned, you have to offset the mount in order to have the TV sit centered and flush against the wall. I have a 7.5" inch mantel, and when sitting flush, the mantel extends out about an inch from the TV (so the mantel will hopefully be able to offer some protection if I decide to use the fireplace). The only drawback is that I didn't have studs where they needed to be, so I installed two 2x4's going horizontally in between the existing studs...Read more

Images I had added disappeared after I edited this review. This is a known Amazon bug.Here is link to Photobucket:http://s43.photobucket.com/user/brd9816/library/play70(Two TVs that you see are a 60Inch LG Plasma, and a 50Inch Panasonic Plasma. They somehow look much smaller probably due to the wide-angle camera.)I love this! It works as promised.Overall, I highly recommend this product. This will significantly improve your TV viewing experience if your TV is in a wide room where height or angle of the screen affects picture quality. Range of motion you get with this Unit is amazing! It may seem a little expensive, but if you add up free standing furniture pieces, they will cost quite more. Not to mention, free standing TV stands take away your valuable floor space, or can't give you excellent viewing angle whenever you want. If you have young kids at home, you can mount TV and a component rack on the wall, away from their reach, giving...Read more
